Front end singing/whistle
#31
Really, this is what it has come too? There has to be a more pressing issue than a little squeek, espesially since most of you run those harley mufflers.
Disk brake rubbing! not dragging, not a problem. Or in the video, tire noise on a clean floor, wet the floor and try the same thing.
Check this... when I had my bike in the shop for new tires, the top mech looked at the front end and said someone changed the spacer as the disk was almost rubbing the hard mount part of the brake caliper, he had the wrench take the spacer out and trim 10mm to give the disk more room.

That's interesting, Lot. I can't be sure that's what I hear on mine when it's actually rolling, but I can't swear it wouldn't be the sound. On the other hand, I wouldn't think that sound you have there would be very intense while the bike is running and with a helmet on. I don't know.

I'm not gonna waste time trying to get rid of the noise, but capturing the sound on my phone was like getting video of bigfoot... the mystery continues.
